Most Anglos OK with religious symbols for government workers

CBC's Vote Compass results show anglophone and francophone are at odds over several key election issues.

Fifty-six per cent of anglophone strongly disagreed with a prohibition on wearing religious symbols at work for state employees — the core of the Parti Québécois's controversial secular charter.

Quebec's English and French-speaking populations are also divided on how far Quebec should go to accommodate religious minorities. Forty per cent of francophones said much less needs to be done to accommodate religious minorities, while only 15 per cent of anglophone voters agreed.
